Hold on a second...This story came out two days before the movie and they are sworn to secrecy, but the end of the clip shows Luke telling Leia that Vader is his father?
@lliillaahayes Well, if you were around in the years between ESB and ROTJ you will remember that we didn't know for sure if Vader was Luke's father. He told Luke he was, but we didn't know if he was lying as a ploy to get Luke to join the Dark Side or if he was telling the truth. It was a mystery until Yoda finally confirmed it to Luke in Return of the Jedi.
To the guys who weren't around when this sort of 'expose' was shown on TV in the late 70s/early 80s, to see this amount of movie footage on your own TV was something special.
@wildone106 There will be more SW movies. Its guaranteed more SW movies will be made, although the next one might not be made until after George Lucas is dead but more will be made.
@YouthFreedomFighters They could be good again, they just need a good writer & director. Thats not George.
Even Spielberg is saying he didn't like what they did on Indy IV..
Im thinking now George had very little to do with SW success, other than being a good 'businessman' and made a good call in 77 with the merchandizing, and had good people around him to bring the movies to life.
@wildone106 The reason for this is very obvious. George is not a good director and he didn't produce the OT by himself like he did the prequels. As a director, he did everything in one take (in the prequels). That's why we have so many laughable scenes. Irvin Kershner as director, in contrast, did multiple takes and encouraged improvisation. That's largely why Empire Strikes Back is considered the best film.
Also as we first saw with the Ewoks, Star Wars had the potential for a huge cash grab.
@dylancholy Yeah, I was dying for GL to bring in a different director for the prequels. It's too bad he wouldn't do it. Can you believe how fabulous they could've been if they had gotten someone talented to direct them?
@dylancholy "Also as we first saw with the Ewoks, Star Wars had the potential for a huge cash grab." You mean it took them that long? Anyway, if George only made the prequels for the money, he would've saved himself a lot of grief by just having other guys direct and write (which he did do for V and VI).
@kawaiitoboe Put a small amount of vegetable oil in a saucepan. Just enough to cover the bottom. Heat it until it starts smoking. Add the popcorn and put a lid on the saucepan. Agitate continuously, until popping stops. Put in a bowl. Add salt (not too much).
wait all 9 movies... Am I missing something?

These movies are so good because George Lucas is not solely responsible for them.

Yup - he was under incredibly heavy supervision for the first. His film teacher did the second, and some third guy did third.
